Sam Oldham said: “There was a great feeling at the opening this morning and you could tell that everybody was really pleased with what the store has on offer. Some of the festive hampers looked amazing – I can’t wait to get Christmas shopping in Aldi this year.”

Store Manager Lee Barraclough said: “It was an absolute pleasure to meet and greet so many local shoppers this morning and we can’t wait to welcome in even more new faces in the coming weeks. Aldi’s festive food range offers everyone’s favourite Christmas treats at everyday amazing prices and it’s just a taste of what’s in store for the future.”

Meanwhile, The Works opened in the Guildhall Centre this morning.

It is a welcome return for the store, which originally had a store in Gaolgate Street before closing.

The new shop has created seven jobs in the shopping centre, which has recently welcomed Yours Clothing Store.

The Entertainer toy shop is due to open opposite The Works on Saturday.
